In the heart of Sussex lies Wakehurst, Kew's 500-acre, wild botanic garden.
Home to the Millenium Seed Bank and diverse landscapes full of plants from across the globe, Wakehurst is described as a living laboratory and a site of globally significant plant science. Alongside its scientific importance, Wakehurst is a hugely popular garden to visit throughout the year.
Come with us as we go behind the scenes at Wakehurst, hearing from some of the team working at this Sussex gem. Uncover some of the Seed Bank's secrets with leading scientist Elinor Breman, discover the gardens with Head of Horticulture Iain Parkinson, and hear from Interim Director Lorraine Lecourtois about Wakehurst’s future and plans for development.
